Incredible tour of two dream cities. - Today we took the Toledo Ávila tour and it has been a magnificent experience. Toledo is a must-see if you are in Madrid and have time for a tour, and the cathedral is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Then we went to Ávila and we were surprised by the culture it has and seeing its walls in such excellent condition despite the weather is impressive, without downplaying the bleeding stone of the cathedral. We have to thank the excellent guide who accompanied us, Yanny, who answered our countless doubts, always attentive, very assertive and with a smile on his face. 100% recommendable.

Toledo and Avila - Poor commentary. Bad audio. Mixing Spanish and English is a bad idea. Guide did not speak English well. Never again.
